Witnesses are to testify about a Dec. 4 home invasion and robbery of more than $10,000 cash in Morenci at a Jan. 29 hearing in Lenawee County District Court for four suspects from Hudson. A preliminary examination to review evidence in the case was set Friday at an initial hearing for the suspects.

Austin Keith Richardson, 19, and Timothy Allen Kier, 20, are accused of being two masked men who broke into a home on Wilson Street in Morenci. They are also charged with unarmed robbery in the theft of cash a woman left in the home after receiving it from a settlement, according to Lenawee County Sheriff’s Department investigators.

Two others face charges of lying to police during investigation of a violent crime. Sarajane Muniz, 44, and Ari Marie-Nicole Wright, 18, both of Hudson, are accused of lying to a detective about the whereabouts of Richardson at the time of the Morenci home invasion and robbery.
